Explore Tortuguero’s canals comfortably by boat
Tortuguero Nationalpark, Costa Rica
Explore Tortuguero’s canals by motorboat with a guide and watch caimans, monkeys and kingfishers from close range.
What you can experience here
Tortuguero National Park is a labyrinth of waterways that you experience anew in the rhythm of the river. The dense rainforests and far‑reaching network of canals make this region unique and let you immerse yourself in Costa Rica’s wild, original nature.
On this guided motorboat tour you board a covered boat at the main dock or directly in the village. A local, certified guide accompanies you through wide canals and hidden side arms. In small groups you have excellent chances of spotting rare animals at close range: look for caimans and crocodiles in the calm water, scan the treetops for monkeys and watch toucans and kingfishers on the banks. Comfort, safety and insider knowledge are always on board.
